ordered upon not less than 30 days notice prior to the scheduled shipping date.
A non-binding 90-day forecast must accompany all purchase orders covering the
three consecutive months following the current purchase order. All Products are
fully tested and verified in

accordance with existing manufacturing procedures. All Products are shipped in
bulk packaging in anti-static bags individually wrapped, FOB Sonic's factory in
San Jose, CA. However, the second shipment against the Initial Purchase Order,
due to arrive at Ramp no earlier than April 1, 1999, shall be F.O.B. Ramp's
location in Fremont, California. All other shipments shall be F.O.B. Sonic's
factory in San Jose, CA. Title and risk of loss for the Product shall pass to
Ramp once it is turned over to Ramp's shipping agent or freight forwarder.

3.2 Terms of Purchase. Terms of purchase shall be net 30 days. Sonic will

users per model (for example, if Ramp needs 25-user units and only has 5-user
units in inventory, Ramp can use a software key to upgrade the 5-user units to
25-user units). The detailed mechanics of how such upgrade shall be done will
be mutually agreed to by the Parties. The charge or credit to Ramp (depending
on the nature of the upgrade/downgrade) shall be the actual price difference
between the models, and shall be reconciled and paid no later than fifteen (15)
days following the end of each calendar quarter.

4. Upgrade License Accounting Reports and Audit Rights
---------------------------------------------------

4.1 Accounting Reports. Ramp shall maintain an accurate list of Licensed
------------------
Upgrade units based on the Product's serial number associated with each copy of
the Licensed Upgrades described in Exhibit B for a period of three (3) years
after such Licensed Upgrade is made in accordance with Section 3.4. Within
fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Ramp shall complete
and submit to Sonic a detailed report setting forth all sales of the Licensed
Upgrades during such calendar month and remit to Sonic the appropriate license
or other fee payments due based on such report. If necessary and at Sonic's
discretion, Ramp shall allow a mutually agreed upon, third party auditor to
review Ramp records associated with such Licensed Upgrades per the Audit Rights
in Section 4.2 below.

4.2 Audit Rights. Sonic has the right to direct a mutually agreed upon third
------------
party auditor to conduct, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior
written notice to Ramp, an audit of the appropriate records of Ramp to verify
the accuracy of Ramp's reports to Sonic; provided, that Sonic shall conduct no
more than one (1) such audit during any twelve (12) month period. Such audit
shall be at Sonic's expense, unless the adjustment to the Licensed Upgrade or
other fees owing from Ramp is greater than five percent (5%) of fees reported by
Ramp, in which case Ramp shall pay all expenses associated with the audit.
Within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Sonic, Ramp shall remit to
Sonic all amounts found in any such audit to be due to Sonic and not previously
paid by Ramp.

5. Customization and Deliverables

-------------
cosmetic and pre-configuration modifications to Sonic's pre-existing products as
set forth on Exhibit A.

5.2 Deliverables. The Deliverables are fully described in Exhibit A attached.
------------
Sonic will deliver all Deliverables to Ramp in accordance with the schedule set
forth on Exhibit D. Ramp will have the right to test the Deliverables for a
period of five (5) working days following

Ramp's receipt of such Deliverables to determine whether the Deliverables
conform to the Specifications. If Ramp determines the Deliverables, fail to
conform to the Specifications, Ramp will notify Sonic, and Sonic will use its
best efforts to correct such defect within two (2) days. At the end of this
period, Sonic will submit the corrected Deliverables to Ramp for acceptance by
Ramp under this Section 5.2; provided, however, that if the corrected
Deliverables fail to conform to the Specifications, Ramp will have the right to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Sonic. The procedure set forth
in this Section 5.2 will repeat until Ramp either accepts or permanently rejects
the Deliverables.

6. Support Obligations, Product Updates, and Product Upgrades
----------------------------------------------------------

6.1 Scope of Services. During the term of this Agreement, Sonic shall render
-----------------
certain services in support of the Products, during Sonic's normal working hours
(Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, PST, excluding holidays).

(a) Sonic shall maintain a trained staff capable of rendering the services
set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Ramp shall provide First-Tier support and Second-Tier support.

(c) Sonic shall only provide Third-Tier support. Under no circumstances
shall Sonic be obligated to directly support a Ramp Channel Partner or an End
User of the Product.

6.2 Updates and Upgrades. During the term of this Agreement Sonic, at its own
--------------------
discretion, shall release Product updates and upgrades and shall make such
updates and upgrades available to Ramp. Sonic shall not charge Ramp for such
upgrades or updates unless Sonic generally charges its customers for such
upgrades and updates.

(a) Sonic is responsible for using all reasonable diligence to correct
verifiable and reproducible Errors when reported to Sonic by Ramp in accordance
with Sonic's standard reporting procedures communicated in writing to Ramp.
Sonic shall, within two (2) days of verifying that such an Error is present,
initiate work in a diligent manner toward development of an Error Correction.
Following completion of the Error Correction, Sonic shall make such Error
Correction available to Ramp and shall include the Error Correction in all
subsequent Releases of the Product. Sonic shall not be responsible for
correcting Errors in any version of the Product other than the most recent
Release of the Product, provided that Sonic continues to support prior Releases
superseded by recent Releases in accordance with Section 6.3.

(b) Sonic may, from time to time, issue new firmware releases of the
Software at no cost to its customers generally, containing error corrections,
minor Enhancements, and, in certain instances if Sonic so elects, major
Enhancements. These new releases shall be provided to Ramp at no additional
charge as new Ramp versions (which replace prior Ramp versions, as customized by
Sonic for Ramp hereunder pursuant to Section 5) within 30 days after the general
release.

(c) Sonic may, from time to time, offer major Enhancements and/or Options
to its customers generally for an additional per unit charge. Ramp, at its
discretion, may choose to purchase and resell these major Enhancements and/or
Options to its customers.

Enhancements for the specific use of Ramp and shall respond to Ramp's requests
for additional services pertaining to the Product (including, without
limitation, graphical user interface modifications, new custom functionality,
and formatting assistance), provided that such assistance, if agreed to be
provided, is subject to supplemental NRE charges and support fees mutually
agreed to by Sonic and

RAMP. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith for Sonic to accommodate Ramp
customization requests and the associated NRE fee, but Sonic may decline the
request due to lack of available engineering resources, scheduling conflicts, or
the nature of the requested customization.

(e) Sonic shall make its best effort to fix Severity I Bugs within 5
working days, and other bugs within 15 working days. The Parties acknowledge
that due to the unpredictable nature of future bugs Sonic cannot be expected to
absolutely deliver the fixes within the specified timeframes in every case.

Support to Ramp for the firmware release immediately preceding the latest
release of firmware for a period of ninety (90) days after delivery of a new

Product Specification

Internet Firewall Appliance

. Firewall Security. SonicWALL uses stateful packet inspection to protect the
private LAN from hackers and vandals on the Internet. Stateful packet
inspection is similar to the algorithms used by enterprise level firewall
vendors, such as Check Point and Cisco, and is widely considered to be the
most effective method of protecting the private LAN.

. Hacker Attack Prevention. SonicWALL is pre-configured to automatically
detect and thwart Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death,
SYN Flood, LAND Attack, IP Spoofing, etc. The goal of a DoS Attack is not
to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer
have access to network resources. For example, "WinNuke," a widely
available DoS tool, is used to remotely crash any unprotected Windows PC on
the Internet; SonicWALL protects the private LAN from WinNuke and many
other DoS attacks.

. Internet Content Filtering. Content filtering allows businesses to create
and enforce Internet access policies tailored to the needs of the
organization. An optional Content Filter List subscription is available
which allows the administrator to select categories of Internet sites, such
as pornography or racial intolerance, to block or monitor access.
Automatic weekly updates of the customizable Content Filter List make sure
that access restrictions to new and relocated sites are properly enforced.
Users may be given a password to bypass the filter, giving them
unrestricted access to the Internet.

. Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT translates the IP addresses used on
the private LAN to a single, valid IP address that is used on the Internet.
This adds a level of security since the address of a PC on the LAN is never
transmitted on the Internet. NAT also allows SonicWALL to support LANs
using low cost Internet accounts, such as xDSL or cable modems, where only
one IP address is provided by the ISP.

. DHCP Server and Client. DHCP Server provides centralized management of IP
clients on the LAN by automatically configuring their IP address, gateway
address, DNS address, and more. DHCP Client allows SonicWALL to acquire
its IP settings (such as IP address, gateway address, DNS address, etc.)
from the ISP. This is ideal when the IP settings, which may change from
time to time, are automatically provided by the ISP, as is the case with
some xDSL and cable modem Internet accounts.

. Remote Access Authentication. Users can access Intranet resources on the
private LAN by successfully logging into SonicWALL from the Internet.
Authentication is established using an MD5-based encrypted security
mechanism.

. Web Browser Management. SonicWALL is easily and securely configured and
monitored through a Web-based interface. Authentication is established
using an MD5-based encrypted security mechanism.

. Network Access Rules. Network Access Rules allow the administrator to
extend SonicWALL's firewall functions. For example, a rule may be created
which blocks all traffic of a certain type, such as Internet Chat (IRC),
from the LAN to the Internet, another rule may be created which gives
Internet users access to a server on the LAN, such as the organization's
public Web server.

. ICSA Certified. After being subjected to a rigorous suite of tests intended
to expose vulnerabilities to attacks and intrusions, SonicWALL has been
awarded the internationally accepted ICSA Firewall Certification.
Administrators can rest assured

that SonicWALL has been tested and approved by the worldwide authority in
independent security services.

. Optional Enterprise Features. In addition to the unlimited number of LAN
clients supported, SonicWALL Plus has features that make it ideally suited
for use in larger, enterprise networks. SonicWALL/10 and SonicWALL/50 may
be upgraded to support more users and to add the following Optional
Enterprise Features.

. Custom Network Access Rules. The administrator has fine-grain control
over network traffic. For example, Custom Network Access Rules may be
created which allow access to a Web server to everyone but
competitors, or restrict use of certain protocols, such as Telnet, to
authorized users on the LAN.

. Web Proxy Relay. If use of a caching proxy server is required,
SonicWALL Plus may be used to transparently redirect all Web requests
to the proxy without client configuration.

. Intranet Support. SonicWALL Plus allows Intranet firewalling by
allowing the administrator to restrict access to certain resources on
the LAN. For example, protection may be required for a company's
accounting department against unauthorized access by other users on
the same network.

Businesses can greatly benefit from the wealth of information that is available
on the Internet. But with that benefit comes the security risk that
unauthorized users may access the network to steal information. Some hackers
get their thrill by crashing or corrupting PCs and servers. To help companies
reduce these security risks, Sonic Systems developed SonicWALL. SonicWALL
offers state-of-the-art software and hardware technology to provide a secure,
easy-to-install, reliable, and affordable firewall for businesses with a few
users to several hundreds of users.

To protect the private network against Internet-based theft, destruction or
modification of data, SonicWALL implements stateful packet inspection, a
technology similar to that used in enterprise-level firewall products offered by
Check Point and Cisco. SonicWALL will allow data coming from the Internet only
if it's part of a session that was initiated by one of the users on the secure
Local Area Network (LAN). Hackers and other unauthorized users will be stopped
at SonicWALL and not allowed on the private network.

When SonicWALL is installed, the network is protected from Denial of Service
Attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, IP Spoofing, and LAND. When new
hacker attacks are discovered, Sonic adds protection from them to the SonicWALL
software. SonicWALL goes an extra step by automatically notifying the
administrator when there is a new software release available. SonicWALL
customers get free software updates.

In addition to stopping unauthorized users from accessing the secure LAN,
SonicWALL allows company management to determine which Internet sites or
Newsgroups should be accessible. The network administrator simply selects the
categories of content to block, such as pornography, intolerance or violence,
and SonicWALL will automatically block the sites that fall under those
categories. SonicWALL uses the highly regarded CyberNOT filter list from
Microsystems Software, also used in products offered by distinguished
organizations such as America Online, AT&T, IBM, Microsoft, Netscape and The
Scholastic Network.

SonicWALL was designed for ease of installation and administration.
Installation involves simply connecting SonicWALL between the private network
and Internet router, spending a few minutes selecting the filtering options from
the intuitive, Web browser based configuration screen, and the users and network
are secure. No reconfiguration of any PC applications is needed.
